Full Tilt Poker has confirmed that one of poker’s premier couples –
David Benyamine and Erica Schoenberg – have joined its team of
world-class pro players.
Benyamine, a French native who has long been known as one of the
poker world’s most successful cash game players, brings an
aggressive style and impressive resume to Full Tilt Poker,
including two World Poker Tour titles and several final table
finishes.
Joining Benyamine, both at and away from the Full Tilt Poker
tables, is his fiancé and fellow poker pro, Erica Schoenberg.
Schoenberg began playing professional poker in 2005 and quickly
established herself as one of the most talented young players in
the game. In less than two years, she has made the money in a
number of prestigious events, including posting an impressive
fifth-place finish at the 2006 Five Diamond World Poker
Classic.
“David Benyamine’s record in cash games and tournaments places
him firmly among the game’s elite,” said fellow Full Tilt Poker
representative Howard Lederer. “Erica Schoenberg has shown flashes
of brilliance in her young career, and under David’s tutelage she
is sure to become one of the elite female players in the world. I
am thrilled to welcome them both to the team.”

Tuesday is the deadline for all working Americans to have submitted their income tax returns to the federal government and Juicy Stakes and Intertops Poker are set to mark this annual occasion by holding a special freeroll competition featuring a $1,000 top prize.

“We run a lot of higher stakes tournaments for our more hard-core players,” said Intertops’ poker manager. “But since our network is generally pretty soft, we created this series to give less competitive players a shot at winning.”
